1982 Map of Morrisey

About this map

Morrisey anchors the southeastern corner of this high plains landscape, situated near the boundary between Weston and Niobrara counties. The drainage patterns here are complex, defined by several significant watercourses including Sheep Creek, Alkali Creek, and the evocatively named Robbers Roost Creek in the northeast. Land use in the late 1970s is evidenced by several industrial and agricultural markers, such as dispersed Drill Hole locations and water infrastructure like 3975 Tank. The terrain transitions into distinct geomorphological features in the south, notably Bum Draw and Whitney Draw, reflecting the arid and dissected nature of the Wyoming backcountry during this era.
